We visited The Top Penang during our trip to George Town, and it turned out to be a fun and memorable experience for all ages. Located inside the Komtar Tower—the tallest building in Penang—it’s a modern attraction packed with different activities, restaurants, and observation decks that showcase Penang from above.
The main highlight is, of course, the Rainbow Skywalk on the 68th floor. Walking on the glass bridge with the city skyline beneath your feet is both thrilling and unforgettable. The views are simply breathtaking—you can see George Town, Penang Bridge, and even parts of the mainland on a clear day. Sunset and nighttime visits are especially magical, with the city lights creating a beautiful panorama. For those who prefer something less daring, the indoor Observatory Deck on the 65th floor still offers fantastic views in a more relaxed setting.
Besides the observation decks, The Top has a wide variety of attractions. Families with kids will enjoy places like the Jurassic Research Center, Tech Dome, and 7D Discovery Motion Theater. There are also fun photo spots and interactive exhibits that keep the experience engaging. For couples or groups of friends, the rooftop bar and dining options provide a great place to relax with a view.
The facility is clean, modern, and well-maintained, though it’s good to note that ticket prices can feel a bit on the higher side, especially if you want to access multiple attractions. However, the overall experience justifies the cost if you plan to spend a few hours exploring everything.
Getting there is convenient since Komtar is centrally located in George Town, with plenty of public transport and parking nearby. Staff were friendly and helpful, making the visit smooth.
A few tips: try to time your visit around late afternoon so you can enjoy both daytime and nighttime views. Also, wear comfortable shoes since there’s some walking between different floors and attractions.
Overall, The Top is a must-visit if you’re in Penang. Whether you’re here for the Skywalk thrill, the panoramic views, or the family-friendly attractions, it offers something for everyone. It’s the best spot to see Penang from above and capture unforgettable memories.
